Chicago examiner saturday Chicago february 14 1914 saturday fufjlitcred in u s patent office price one cent r3ffc<ss vol xii no 47 a m rail men to offer l link to end loop congestion pennsylvania and other lines willing to build 2,500,000 elevated boulevard connecting north and west sides.j architect graham explains plan m terminal problem to coincide with city beautiful idea city hall conference on to-day j when the discussion of the ordinances for the jo,oocooo terminals of the penn sylvania group of railroads is resumed this morning m the city hall the repre sentatives of the railroads will present to the aldermen a revised plan embody ing concessions that are expected to eliminate many problems of downtown traffic congestion at the same time the Chicago plan commission's city beautiful ideals are to be promoted a mammoth elevated roadway connect ing canal street with the north side at orleans and kinzie streets and which will give an outlet for the diversion of much traffic now congesting the dowu own district is the most important new concession that the roads are granting to the city this great public roadway which is to cost the railroads not less than 2,500,000 will be a connecting link io the west twelfth street boulevard on â– sooth side and the lake shore drive n the north side it will enable traffic destined for the vesr side raidroad terminals but which now goes through the downtown streets â€¢ lie diverted over the viaduct and iirldgc connecting the west and north sides at kinzie street and the north oianel hue Chicago river the elevated roadway which will in clude canal street ana orleans street from eighteenth street on the south side to indiana street or Chicago avenue on the north will be wide enough to accommodate street car tracks and leave ample space for vehicle and automobile traffic architect e r graham of d h burn ham & co designers of the Chicago plan and the architects of the pennsylvania terminals is advocating the use of the elevated roadway for through routing of street cars in order that access to the west side railroad stations could be had from the north and south sides without traveling through the congested down town district divert the street cars it is the belief of mr graham that the city can direct the street car companies ! to through route a large number of cars over the elevated roadway by diverting cottage grove avenue state street and clark street cars over eighteenth street to canal street and the west side rail road stations and over Chicago avenue indiana street orleans street and the viaduct that will connect with the ele vated roadway west of the river at canal and kinzie streets this great elevated roadway will be of value to the city m countless ways but especially m the relief it will bring to downtown congestion by diverting from the loop district the north and south side traffic intended primarily for the big railroads on the west bank of the river said architect graham it is all wrong to compel people whose business is at the northwestern or union stations to pass through the congested downtown streets m slow travel when they might go directly and quickly to and from the railroad terminals by using canal street after the roadway link is cons/ruct ed between the west and north sides a large number of through route street cars could and should he diverted over the roadway from the north and south side lines in this way the new roadway could be made a great boon to the pub lie it couid be completed m two or three years and would be one of the city's greatest arteries of traffic among other big features of the set tlement to be proposed to-day on behalf of the railroads will be the following the pennsylvania group of roads agrees to locate a freight terminal on a site re cently acquired from the altou road on the west bank of the river east of canal street and south of taylor street aban doning the previous site at jefferson desplaincs van buren and polk streets to which the city objected because of the proposed closing of streets to double-deck canal street roads drop opposition to ultimate straightening of the south branch of fie river and will co-operate m the im provement plans the understanding to be that the roads will he protected as reaards the ultimate valuation of their property roads agree to widening and double decking of canal street and for this pur pose will donate a twenty-foot strip of property along the east side of canal street the canal s'reet improvement to form a portion of the roadway with which canal street
